jakarta wedding festival. the biggest wedding exhibition in jakarta. all the participants from the wedding industries showed their forces there attracting the future brides and grooms, alluring them with their best promos. thousands and thousands of couples coming. not only that, they brought their parents, future parents-in-law and their crowds. the site was getting crazy the second day due to the indonesian idol event that held their winner's crowning at the venue next to the jakarta wedding festival.

the crowds? don't even think of counting them.

the magazine was one of the participants in the jakarta wedding festival. as the manager of the magazine, i held two responsibilities: the whole team for this event and the annual contest show, in which, i was the 'penanggung jawab' of the show.

with the over flow crowds, the rising tensions from my team before the show, the people that didn't do the jobs i delegated, last minute interventions from the CEO who-didn't-know-anything-and-came-by-and-tolak-pinggang-and-told-me-to-do-this-and-that...

and, with all the tensions - i yelled at my CEO.

cool.

afterwards, it was like a magic, actually. the people started doing the jobs i delegated, the tensions went down abit, and - the team listened to me. sometimes, CEOs need to be yelled at, too.

everytime i got stressed out in that wedding festival, i went to one of the exhibitors showcase. standing in front of rows of framed pictures, seeing them-one by one. they calmed me. they showed me how love could be captured in pictures.

after all, the exhibition went well for the magazine. three tv stations and printed media came to tape the show. we got lots of compliments. and, at the end of the day, i was the last to leave. and - the only one who came to the office this morning while the much needed break was given to my team.

without them all, i won't be functioning well.
